Occupy Marvin Gardens: Save the Wheelbarrow

Most Read

There are just some things that should never change, not that a huge corporation like Hasbro cares about tradition. It's licensed Monopoly boards for every city, state, sports team, and brandname imaginable. And now, for reasons unknown, the fat cats have decided to execute one of Monopoly's famous tokens through a vote on Facebook.

And let's be honest, Scottie dog is surely safe, and no one would ever fk with the race car. But the wheelbarrow, that severely under-appreciated, single-wheeled wonder that has built empires and gardens alike, is as good as done. Because, think about it: When was the last time you, or anyone else on Facebook, used a wheelbarrow?

It currently sits last with only four percent of voters urging its survival, but it's not too late for an uprising against the tyrannical Rich Uncle Pennybags (aka: Mr. Monopoly). Tell him he can't take away our wheelbarrows. Print leaflets and bulletins if you must. And when he comes to tell you that he's replacing that incredibly practical wheelbarrow with a cat, or a cool robot, or even a helicopter, tell him no.

Or use the words that he will get through his greedy noggin: Do not pass go, do not collect a global icon.
